How Many M's @ Your Workplace?

Just thought I would pose the question. I work at a fairly large company and at one building alone I have seen at least 5-6 M's in the lot at a time. I don't think they are all DD's, but have seen all of them enough to know that they aren't just visiting.

Anyone seen more at their workplace?

There is a 650i cab and a couple 5 series, but that is it for BMW's. No M's but me. Of course, I am currently working at (god forsaken) coupon printing facility so much of the workforce isn't exactly BMW's demographic.

I've only seen 1 other M, and I'm at our very large HQ main complex. I don't know where they're hiding.

And actually knowing how many M3post member are in Houston, I'm surprised at how few M3s I see.

I work for a squadron of about 300 people. When I had mine there would be up to 4 M3s in the parking lot. Two E46, one E36, and my E92.

Just 1. Also two 330is, a 525i, a Z3, and down the lot is a 135i cab. There are, however, a pile (4) of S4s and other Audis...

I rarely see any E9x M3s around this part of the woods.

Well at my work we have one M3 right now. My dads. We'll soon be adding mine!

Guy here used to have an M5 when my dad had his M6. Lots of other bimmers though, 7 series, 5er, 2 e9x non m's, X5.

I was just thinking about it the other day. Other than the motor for tots event I went to I havent even seen an LCI E90 M3 on the road in my area...

Only one, it's the Janitor's.

All the Bentley, Maybach and Ferrari owners make him hide it in the back.



Only kidding.

I work in Manhattan. There are NO cars parked at my workplace and if anyone drives to work there are they are parked in some attended undergound garage and I would never see them. If anyone here drives an M, I am paying them too much.

Although BMWs are just about as common here as yellow cabs you don't see many M's in Manhattan as most of the people who work here and own one probably don't bring them into the city.

We've got about 700 people in our building. A good amount of them have Porsches, BMWs, MBs, a few Audis, Corvettes, and Lexus. There are also a few Ferraris, Lambos, Maybachs, Range Rovers, Lotus', and Maseratis. I'd say there are about 75 M's. Most of them are M6s and M5s. There are about 10 M3s and of those, only 4 E9Xs. What really surprises me is that there isn't one GT-R, and I'm the only M3 that's not stock.

My favorite is actually the 66 Corvette that one of the Execs brings in...mint!
